I was also able to pre-patch with no issues, so not everyone is having problems... and yes, more positive feedback should be given, although reporting any problems, as long as done in detail and without personal editorials is useful.

They should just sell the upgrade books already instead of this. I'd prefer in game, but not likely seeing the pattern before me. I already used my Adventurer's pack, which should've included an uncommon companion to begin with, no way I'm buying a "Friend" pack. Bad form.

I disagree. Cryptic took 4e's constrictions and applied a vise to it. 4e could still be fun if done right. I have a theory that Cryptic's take is based on the fact that there is already an active D&D online IP, and they wanted to "stand out". They did, but not in a good way. That's not to say that NWO isn't fun; it's just…

Unfortunately, much like a run-of-the-mill MMO, this is the way 4e is designed (You probably know this, but it bears repeating). This was done to attract more digital RPGers to the PnP world. You have 2 build choices to start with from each class, which later branch out to Paragon builds. This wouldn't normally be a…

I'm aware that the links are true, since I read them before posting. I was referring to his post as a whole, which has been regurgitated ad nauseam, without personalization to each and every one of these introductions. Easy to post? Sure. Also easy to ignore by the reader. Thank you both for the welcome and the good…

There's a lot of unapologetic flip-flopping going around. If there was anything constructive coming out of it, no problem, but it's mostly taking the opposing side of a valid argument just for argument's sake. Let's try to provide feedback that moves the conversation forward... ...oh, and there is no "can't" in…

D&D 4th Edition Player's Handbook, page 171: Paragon Build: Wizard of the Spiral Tower Prerequisite: Wizard, proficiency with longsword 'Nuff said

LOL a crude analogy, but apropos.

Not only will I be playing it, I'll try my hand at making some. As a long time DM I can't wait to see what I can accomplish in the Foundry!

Since Cryptic has claimed NWO is based on the 4E rule set, and it carries the burdens of not only the legacy of one of the greatest D&D game series ever, as well as the one of the greatest, if not greatest campaign settings of all, people will continue to think of NWO as D&D 4E, because that's what it's supposed to be. 4E…

Yes it would... if it were allowed in 4E rules. It's allowed in NONE at character creation, and not without consequences for existing characters. And even in those that allow it, an evil alignment is a prerequisite on a veteran character, because extending your life by means of anything other than a carefully worded wish…

Yup, and EQ took was was appealing (in the sense that it was easier to implement at the time) from many obscure but good MMOs that came before, some even emulating the D20 system (Rubies of Eventide comes to mind). Good times.

A Menzo-Drow Wizard. Wish that both builds were available at launch, although I'll make the best of it with Control Wizard.
-
Exactly. Fighter, Cleric, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Warlock, Warlord and Wizard are the core classes. What we're seeing in NWO are not classes but role oriented builds based off Fighter (GF and GWF), Cleric (DC), Rogue (TR), and Wizard (CW). So technically, there will be 4 classes comprised of 5 builds at launch. Because of…

4E's lifespan will be even shorter, as 5E is in the works since the beginning of last year. WotC is still accepting beta applications, something never before done in any D&D edition (Pathfinder did it but that's a D20 franchise, not D&D). 3E spanned from 2000 to 2008, and the next edition will try to amalgam all the…
-
Well, I hope you can resolve the issue. :(
-
That's assuming they respect the rules. Haven't seen much of that. Instead of using the core classes they're presenting us with prefabs from the PHB, and have yet to present a way to customize our build or mention if that's an available feature in the future.
-
I didn't have this issue with my desktop, just my laptop, which meets the minimum requirements and as such will not improve lol. Forgive my asking, but have you updated your video drivers? This tends to resolve such issues most of the time. On rare occasions outdated network adapter drivers factor in how smoothly data is…
-
To coin your phrase, you can keep shouting the same things over and over. You keep using the same example. I've given multiple names of working customizable games, and my mentioning the skills as examples doesn't mean that is the only thing that needs work. It's called an example for a reason. Also, just as a tree will…
-
Wrong assumption. I only mentioned games still in service, one yet to be released in North America. Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't make them dead games. The comment on shelf life was to bring some objectivity to the table, which you refuse to employ. That is your choice. And that bring this around to my…

For those not familiar with the reference: Drizzt's aberration was a product of genetics. His father Zaknafein also despised Lolth and what she stood for, and in fact everything about the Drow society. Unlike Drizzt, he didn't have the strength of character to oppose his culture, yet at one point was willing to kill his…

I've never claimed unlimited customization, that is your assumption. What we desire is customization that allows us to branch out, not have the branches we want cut off from the tree. Mystical MMOs, per your request (every game, no matter how great, has a shelf life. There is no escaping that. Developers and publishers are…
-
Your initial argument is that you cannot customize your character how you want in other games. That's a false statement. There are plenty of old and current MMOs that allow you to do just that. For the other 2... 1) I may "choose" not to use them, but then I'd be gimping myself. Would you? Didn't think so. 2) Cookie cutter…
-
That's just it. Everything is preplanned for you. You have no say in how your character will progress. A rogue that has never stepped outside of a city would have little use for Nature and would not take that feat, perhaps opting for Dungeoneering instead. A guardian employed as a temple guard, praying for the blessings of…

That vanilla-like lack of true customization is partly the reason why we're voicing our concerns in this thread: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?50671-Not-D-amp-D&goto=newpost

The original Faerie Fire engulfed the target in a dark, purplish aura of "flame" that made it easier for drow to mark and follow their target, improving their accuracy in the pitch black of the Underdark. With their improved infravision, using such an innate magical ability was like lighting a beacon, and anyone with such…

I like my spam in cans not my pc screen. Gets messy.

Events must be joined by a party, so these are not currently soloable. The rest of the quests seem to be.

This 2nd patch did the trick. On behalf of myself and other portable gamers, you have my heartfelt thanks. Your prompt response time and feedback on the forums sets the gold standard for others to follow. Cheers.

My laptop has Intel graphics, and although I can run all other PW/Cryptic games Neverwinter still gives me the blue screen on startup. Works fine on my desktop, even before the patch, but I do use my laptop as much, and would like to play on the go. Using my laptop's STO gameprefs didn't work unfortunately. Of course I…
